Deep down inside I know I still love her
But she'll never know 'cause I'll never tell
Or confide that I'm thinkin' of her
And wishing her well
I can't walk up to her and say to her

Baby, just what you been doing
I still love you like I did
You know that nothing's really changed
But bein' the way I am
I keep it hid

Now lately I've seen the look in her eyes
That just breaks my heart
'Cause she needs me so
Just to lean on right at this moment
Oh why can't I go up to that old love of mine and say

Baby, just what you been doing
I still love you like I did
You know that nothin's really changed
But bein' the way I am
I keep it hid

Now maybe some day I'll throw off my foolish pride
'Cause this ain't no good
Watching her dying this way
'Cause she's the same girl inside
But why can't I go up to that old love of mine and say

Baby, just what you been doing
I still love you like I did
You know that nothin's really changed
But bein' the way I am
I just keep it
